Hack also works for the M18 18-Volt 2 Gal Wet/Dry Vac, ends up costing $101.84

Also, might want to add "Milwaukee" to the title.

Is it possible to use a battery adapter on this to use Dewalt batteries since the battery on this one goes inside the unit?

Make sure you're buying this for the right reasons.

If the reason is "I own a lot of [M12/M18] batteries and it may be slightly more convenient around the shop" then I'd tap the brakes. These things are underpowered by over half compared to any other plug-in shop vac while costing more even with the hack. The supposed purpose is for contractors on the go who need to clean up after themselves (in general, and in particular at sites that may not have electrical power available). They also chug batteries, in particular if you're moving water. Ultimately for a shop vac more power actually saves time, therefore low power + swapping batteries every 15 minutes is a big time-sink unless you fall into the niche this thing nails.

I'd cross-shop small plug-in shop vacs, and pay particular attention to the CFM (this is 45 CFM and 15 miunute~ runtime per battery). The only thing I know this beats is the Bucket Head, but you can buy 3x Bucket Heads for the cost of one of these and a Bucket Head having nearly unlimited storage capacity because it attaches to standard buckets is a cool (albeit niche) feature that may be a lifesaver in certain circumstances (e.g. disaster recovery).

I doubt it. The regular m12 batteries barely fit. I have used 1.5 - 6 aH. The bigger ones work better and those just fit before closing the lid.

I'd go with the m18. I have used both extensively. The Air-Tip attachments and m18 with the new high-powered battery are amazing. I stack two in the battery slot (one disconnected) or one of the larger Ah batteries. The m12 is tiny and not powerful enough in my opinion.

I bought this about a year ago to clean out mouse droppings in the ceiling above our garage as I didn't want to drag my plug in shop vac around in the ceiling. I absolutely love the thing, but on high it burns through even the 6ah battery in no time. I'm actually very glad it can do this as it's quite powerful on high, but know you'll need to frequently swap batteries if using it for an extended period of time. I already had a handful of M12 batteries and bought this with the 6ah so I was able to just cycle them through a few chargers to get the job done. It's become our go to vac around the house to clean up small messes as well

I bought one last year with a 6aH battery. This works very well for cleaning up the inside of my Toyota sequoia. I can usually get 2-3 full cleanings (on low power) with this vacuum. And that's for all 3 rows with kids making a mess throughout.

I was about to ask if this is good enough for cleaning up the cars after kids. Thanks!

As long as you regularly maintain/vacuum every so often and don't let it build up, it'll be perfect. I vacuum about once a month.


My 2 year old twins and 4 year old have an impressive ability to make the biggest messes out of the smallest things.


This vacuum is great especially during winter time where you don't want to stand outside in the cold and vacuum. I just turn the heat on and keep the doors closed while I vacuum inside.


Keep in mind I have the 6ah battery. Obviously a smaller battery will get used up much faster.
